You are not a fixture

Job 6:1-2 My Complaint Is Just

 Then Job answered and said:

“Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea—
Therefore my words have been rash.

 

 

We got it good compared to Job

 

My concern is for you ... you fit well in my picture.

I will flaunt you every day ... as a project of my own.

If I appear too blue ... it’s because you’re not a fixture

that I expected to stay ... in my living room.

 

A decorating piece... in a world of my own making

A trophy in my collection ... to be admired by my lot

A simple masterpiece ... mine for the taking

to show the main attraction ... in service to “my” God
